50's - dance Q?
Posted by Frank

Does anyone recall, or know via dance history, what dance people used to do to all those '50's tunes that had the "bounce" or "upstrum" beat with emphasis on the 2 & 4? A typical example of hundreds of these tunes with this 4/4 beat is Como's "Magic Moments" or, say, the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You." I know everyone wasn't "slow dancing" then, no one knew what nightclub 2-step was, and I can't remember what was going on then. It would be nice to be able to utilize all that music somehow - all I've been able to vome up with, is "social foxtrot" (walking to the music, all slows).
